What path should I choose to help my child protect his life?

A few days ago, a mother in Yancheng posted her daughter's high school entrance examination results of 742 points (out of a total of 800 points), and surprisingly, she did not apply for a better high school for her children like other parents of students, preparing for the future sprint 985 and 211. Instead, he went the other way and enrolled in a teacher training college.

Originally, my mother just wanted to share her joyful mood, but I didn't expect that various news websites had reprinted it, and the news spread rapidly.

Some accused their mothers of being irresponsible and worried about their children's future employment prospects, and some supported their mothers to do the right thing, thinking that being a teacher was an insurance choice. I have to say that this session of netizens really love to worry!

The mother had to come out and respond: this is also her daughter's own choice, and the family is very supportive of her. In addition, the child is enrolled in the "seven-year teacher training orientation student", and the future employment is also guaranteed, and the preparation teacher qualification can be obtained after graduation.

In recent years, with the development of science and technology, the social situation has changed, education has also been reformed, and the general job diversion has emerged. In addition to Yancheng, Jiangsu Nantong, Xuzhou and other places have also set up pilot projects of "seven-year continuous training of targeted teacher normal students".

The state requires reducing the burden on children, and experts advocate respecting children's interests, but parents who have long been accustomed to involution and chicken dolls still have instinctive anxiety and anxiety, and they reject vocational colleges. But the difficulty of finding employment for college graduates is another kind of worry.

What kind of path should be helped to choose in order to protect him/her for the rest of his life has become a question that countless parents ponder.

In the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand views of occupation

Talking to friends about the topic, she strongly agreed with the choice of the girl and her family. My friend's parents are both junior high school teachers who have taught all their lives in a second- and third-tier city, and the two of them each receive a salary of seven or eight thousand after retirement, and their lives are not comfortable.

Because she was young, she was reluctant to stay in school like her parents, and longed for a freer and more promising job. But who knew that he was slapped in the face by reality, and he went to several enterprises, and his work was very unsatisfactory.

When she wanted to return to the compilation and become a teacher, she found that there were so many people who took the compilation exam, and the competition was very fierce. In the end, she also failed to join the editor, and now works in a private company, with a monthly salary of four or five thousand, which is really regretful.

In recent years, many industries have been sluggish, and some companies have struggled to survive during the pandemic, and more and more people have lost their jobs. As a result, people became more and more uneasy, so they were more enthusiastic about weaving, and with the iron rice bowl in hand, they felt solid in their hearts, and the position of teacher became the best choice.

But can you be a teacher? Not really. Life doesn't end when you get a job, it's just a fresh start.

A netizen talked about his cousin's experience, but it was a different reality. My cousin studied teacher training and after graduation was assigned to the local central elementary school to become a teacher.

But soon the school's requirements for teachers changed, and it began to recruit graduate students. My cousin seems to have picked up a big bargain, but in fact, she can't say it bitterly. All professional titles and job evaluations are limited by academic qualifications and have no chance with her.

The master's students who entered the school later than her soon arrived at the department and had more room for promotion. So she has always regretted that she did not go to high school to enter college, but chose to teach college.

Which profession is better to choose, I am afraid that if you ask a thousand people, there will be a thousand answers. Different times and regions may vary from era to region, and even the same career outcome can vary widely.

Everyone's judgment is based on what they see and hear, they are all standing on their own position, with subjectivity and limitations, and no one's answer is truly accurate.

Only objective big data, as well as professional interpretation, may be available for reference, and the rest is just to make the best choice at the moment.

Stable work is not as good as stable core competitiveness

In the eighties and nineties, everyone yearned to enter state-owned enterprises, holding iron rice bowls to ensure a lifetime of food and clothing. Later, however, countless workers in state-owned enterprises caught up with the wave of layoffs and returned to pre-liberation overnight.

After losing their jobs, some people began to set up stalls to buy breakfast, and some people chose to work part-time, running around for life, and living very hard.

My grandmother was an accountant in a state-owned enterprise and was familiar with the financial knowledge in the enterprise and successfully stayed. Later, after her grandmother retired, she was rehired by the unit, and other cooperative units came to her part-time, and her life was getting better and better.

Because of her skills and rich experience, my grandmother also has the foundation to stand in the changing years.

chatGPT was born, and after the freshness, people began to worry, because many basic positions may be replaced.

Teachers also face challenges: lecturers from prestigious schools record high-quality lectures and make them easy to search; Competitive pressure has increased, and more people have gone to the exam; The birth rate is declining rapidly, and kindergartens in some areas have begun to have difficulty enrolling. So do you really need that many teachers in the future? This is still an unknown.

On the variety show "Exciting Offer", interns are often asked similar questions: "What do you think is your core competency?" Why did we hire you? Please give me a reason that will convince me. "To the bottom of the heart.

The biggest constant in the world is change, and so is the profession. In the future, I am afraid that there will be no iron rice bowl, let alone a golden rice bowl, and only with core competitiveness can we survive.

If you work deep in an industry and can achieve the best level, you will win over most of your peers. Enterprises will go bankrupt, but the ability will not disappear, perhaps in the end to find that there is no so-called sufficiently stable job, only good internal skills can escort themselves.

There are thousands of paths in life, and finding your love is the most important

After the college entrance examination scores came out this year, Dong Yuhui received a lot of information from the children. Some test scores are far ahead, some are unsatisfactory, and some are overwhelmed because of their low scores.

Dong Yuhui said this in the live broadcast room: "What is education, education is not to turn you into another person, education is to let you be yourself, education is to find your heart's original love and sense of mission, so that you become a better and stronger self." ”

Some time ago, I was fanned by Dong Lina, a master's graduate of the 2023 School of Broadcasting and Hosting Arts. Her calm and confident expression and beautiful voice won applause from the audience, and also conquered countless netizens.

Dong Lina was originally a blind girl with a lot of unchanged life, and the teachers of the blind school often told her that she must learn Tuina well, which would be her only way out in the future.

By chance, she found a non-profit organization on the Internet that could help blind people learn to broadcast and host. So, he boarded the train from Dalian to Beijing alone, and began a difficult but fulfilling road to study.

When the announcer said the first sentence, she was deeply attracted to the fact that the voice can have such a great charm. Since then, the dream and love in her heart have been activated, and she began to practice hard, and her grades quickly improved.

Later, Dong Lina went to participate in the recitation competition, met the judge Jing Yidan, and got the opportunity to broadcast on the Central People's Radio.

From an ordinary blind girl to a mature broadcaster, she is still not satisfied. After that, she knocked on the door of Communication University of China to find a broader stage.

A blind girl can turn against the wind and start a different life because of her love, after her fate is prematurely sentenced. Those able-bodied children, of course, can also make life better and more exciting because of love.

I like the saying: "Life should be a wilderness, not a trajectory." ”

Some parents like to plan their children's lives, hoping that their children can go through the old road of people and live a worry-free life. As everyone knows, the previous generation enjoyed the dividends of the times and the demographic dividend, and now the employment situation faced by young people has long been very different.

Only by finding what you really love can you withstand the blows and tests of failure, and only then can you persistently delve into it, become a leader in the industry, and be invincible.

Light up "looking", may every child have love in their hearts, light in their eyes, and light up their lives and shine in the future with their dreams.
